The putter is the most used club in any golf set because it is used on every hole. Because of this, the grips on the putter can get worn down rather quickly. While the grip can withstand some wear and tear, eventually you will not be able to hold the club properly, resulting in many more missed putts. You should get into the habit of getting the putter re-gripped when this occurs. Instead of taking the club into a store to get re-gripped, you might want to consider re-gripping the club yourself.
Step 1
Place the club into a vice so that the grip is facing you. Tighten the vice and make sure that it is not touching any part of the grip.
Step 2
Cut a line down the center of the old grip with the razor blade. Pull the old grip away from the club shaft and remove it.
Step 3
Spray the club shaft with an all-purpose cleaner. Wipe the shaft with a cloth to thoroughly clean it. This will help remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated under the grip.
Step 4
Wrap double-sided tape around the club shaft. It has to cover the shaft for the length of the entire grip. Pour some of the all-purpose cleaner over the double-sided tape. This will help the grip slide onto the club.
Step 5
Position the grip opening over the shaft of the club. Slide the grip onto the shaft, over the tape, until it is completely onto the club.
Step 6
Remove the putter from the vise. Make minor adjustments to the grip with your hands. Allow the tape to dry for at least three hours before attempting to play.
Tips and Warnings
- Some club grips come reversed out of the package. When this occurs, you will place the top of the grip onto the top of the shaft and roll the grip over the tape.
- Be careful using the razor. If you are not careful, you could damage the shaft or cut your finger.
